Chapter 5 - Preparing for the battle

Sam ended the call with his teacher.

He booked a taxi and ordered the taxi driver to drive toward his house.

He was tired, both physically and mentally. He was just thinking about how he should interact with his new family.

While he is thinking, the taxi driver stops the car.

" Sir, we reached our destination."

" Uhh.... "

Suddenly the taxi driver's sound wakes him from his dream.

" Yes, thank you."

He then pays the taxi driver his money and walks toward the front door of his house.

No one was in the home. Sam opens with his key and enters the house. He went into his room. He needed to take a fresh bath.

After taking a bath, he just lay down in his bed and immediately fell asleep.

The next day, Monday, Sam wakes up to the alarm sound. He gets up from the bed and walks toward the bathroom.

After freshening up, he came to the kitchen and sat down, and wondered what he would do today.

He needs to raise his level but has to be low-key. He doesn't want to attract any powerhouse's attention. His stealth skill should be good enough for now. He just needs a skill that can hide his power level.

His mom and dad are not home. It will take at least 1 week to clear the C-grade dungeon.

After deciding what to do today, he simply makes two omelets and pours the milk into a glass for his breakfast.

After finishing his breakfast, he wore his school uniform.

He started walking towards his school. From his house to school the distance is 2 km, so he normally didn't take any ride to reach his school.

When he reached his school, he saw one expensive car entering the school.

The car door opened, and a beautiful girl got out of the car. She has long silver hair, silver eyes, and a curvy figure.

She is Elena Martin, the Ice Princess. The leader of elite students, a peak E grade student.

Normal students don't even dare to look directly into her eyes, well it was because of her status. Once a guy tried to look at her and also tried to talk but the next day school management told them the guy was leaving the school.

Because of his sister's achievement, the Base school became famous and many genius students came here.

Sam doesn't come to school very often, so he doesn't care about anyone.

Sam also doesn't care about them, but he wants to be low-key. So he waited outside the school gate for Elena and her friends to go to their class, then he will enter the school. Because of his sister's identity, he was also famous in school as a loser.

After Elena gets out of the car, she meets with her classmates, one handsome guy with blond hair and one handsome girl with red hair. They started walking towards their class.

When Sam saw this, he entered the school and also started walking toward his class.

Normal students and elite students have different classes. Any school's treatment of its elite students differs from any other normal students. Elite means to have better treatment from the schools.

School management hired experienced D-grade warriors to teach the elite students, but normal students don't have those facilities.

Sam is a normal student. Because of his low potential, he was born to be a normal warrior.

He entered the class and sat in the last seat of the class.

Everybody in the class is jealous of him, envying him. They think he doesn't deserve to be the brother of a genius. He is just trash.

Sam doesn't care about them. He was used to people behaving like this.

So he doesn't talk to anyone in the class and sits quietly in his seat.

After a while, the rest of the class slowly entered the classroom and sat down in their seats.

Their class teacher, Mr. Fin, enters the class. He is quite handsome and has short black hair and black eyes. If he is looking at someone with his sharp gaze, that person feels pressure. It's called warrior pressure.

He looked at all the students in the class at once and started teaching. Mr. Fin mainly teaches about the battle. Once he was also a warrior, but because of an accident, he retired from being a warrior and became a teacher.

Today Mr. Fin is talking about the previous day's battle.

"You all think that you are some sort of special person because of the previous day's fight. But I just want to say you all are wrong. Those goblins are not even intermediate F-grade monsters. They are just early F-grade monsters. Elite students can kill any early E-grade monsters. Some of them even can fight with the intermediate E grade monster. So, just focus on your battle techniques and improve your grade." Mr. Fin said to the students.

'I think the previous day's goblin captain is an intermediate F grade monster and I should be now a near peak F grade,' Sam murmured inwardly.

He doesn't want to expose his strength, so he didn't want to tell anyone about his strength. So he just practiced normally and didn't do any extra movement.

After finishing his class, Mr. Fin walked forward to the door. He turned around and said, " Sam, come to my office".

Sam expected this, so he got up from his seat and started following Me. Fin to his office.

They came to Mr. Fin's office. As a warrior, Mr. Fin has his office, which normal teachers don't have.

Mr. Fin sat down in his chair and he looked at Sam with his sharp gaze. He asked, " Sam, where were you the day before?"

"I am very sorry Mr. Fin. previously I forgot to inform you after fighting. I became very exhausted. So, exit the dungeon and come home." Sam said to Mr. Fin. Even after experiencing Mr. Fin's warrior pressure, he didn't show any anxiousness. At this time, Sam just hoping that Mr. Fin, believe him. 

"How come no one saw you leaving the dungeon?" Mr. Fin asked Sam. He carefully looked at Sam's expression. He is trying to see if Sam is telling the truth or lies.

"Mr. Fin, I am very exhausted and didn't want anyone to make fun of me. So, I hide my face when leaving the dungeon." Sam calmly answers the questions. He knows if he becomes anxious while talking, Mr. Fin will suspect him.

Sam doesn't know if Mr. Fin realized he had been lying. He saw Mr. Fin sigh and look at him normally.

"Sam, I know that your basic foundation is quite lacking. You should now strengthen the basic foundation of your body. You have six months free before the college exam. Don't give up without trying. If you face any problems and need help, you can tell me." Mr. Fin suggests Sam.

He knows this boy is quite lazy, and his potential is quite a mess. So, he wants at least Sam to have the strength to protect himself.

Sam knows Mr. Fin wants to help him. So he nodded, and after thanking Mr. Fin for his suggestion, he left the office.

While walking, he was thinking about two main things. First, he should buy a technique to conceal his strength. Second, going to the previous dungeon and clearing the floors.

Sam entered the class and sat down in his seat. From tomorrow, everyone will start taking exam preparations. So the school will be closed from tomorrow and if you have any problem, you can contact your teacher.

Elite students will spend their days in the dungeon with their battle instructors. Experienced warriors will also guide them.

After the last class, wasting no time, he left the classroom with his bag. He has to go to the warrior association if he wants to buy the technique. So, he quickly wants to go there.

He entered the warrior association. He came in front of the lady receptionist and said, " Can you show me the F grade concealment technique scroll and many F grade crystal boxes ?"

"Yes, sir." The receptionist said this and went to look for the scroll. After a while, she came back with a scroll.

"Sir, this is the best F-grade concealment technique, and sir, these are the crystals." The receptionist said to Sam. She brought her hand to the table, and many boxes appeared.

[A/N: Each crystal box has 10 crystals.]

After paying 5000 dollars for the technique and 400 thousand dollars for the 8 boxes, he left the association. His savings from childhood were almost finished. He needs to make some money.

He didn't want to take any money from his parents. From childhood, every month his parents give him and his sister pocket money. Sam used to save that money for future use.

He has almost finished with his preparation. With this new concealment technique, nobody can tell his grade and he finally levels up his grade. His parents will take some time to return home so he can freely go to the dungeon.
